This knife‐gate valve’s main characteristic is that it provides a full continuous flow. This means that in open position it produces no cavities and, therefore, there are no turbulences in the fluid. It is also referred to as a bidirectional through‐going gate valve or through conduit knife gate valve. The valve’s body is composed of two parts or halves. The internal surface of both parts is fully machined and they are assembled with screws to form a solid block. The gate in the stainless steel version slides smoothly inside the body thanks to the nylon RCH 1000 slides inserted inside both parts of the body. The stem protection hood is independent from the handwheel securing nut, this means the hood can be disassembled without the need to release the handwheel. This advantage allows regular maintenance operations to be performed, such as lubricating the stem, etc. The stem on the CMO valve is made of 18/8 stainless steel. This is another added advantage, as some manufacturers produce it with 13% chrome and it gets rusty very quickly. The handwheel is made of GJS‐500 nodular cast iron. Some manufacturers produce them in normal cast iron which can lead to breakages in the event of very high operating torque or knocks. The yoke is has a compact design with the bronze actuator nut protected in a sealed and lubricated box. This makes it possible to move the valve with a key, even without the handwheel (in other manufacturers’ products this is not possible). The pneumatic actuator’s upper and lower covers are made of GJS‐400 nodular cast iron, making them highly shock resistant. This characteristic is essential in pneumatic actuators. The pneumatic cylinder’s o‐ring seals are commercial products and can be purchased worldwide. This means it is not necessary to contact CMO every time a seal is required.
Note: The stainless steel valves have slides on each side of the body to avoid friction and possible seizure of the valve, these slides are made of RCH1000.

1‐ BODY Cast iron body with reinforcements, composed of two parts joined by screws, the stainless steel version has internal nylon RCH1000 slides for the smooth movement of the gate, the GJL‐250 versions do not require slides. The internal surface of both parts is fully machined and they are assembled with screws to form a solid block. Provides a full continuous flow. This means that in open position it produces no cavities and, therefore, there are no turbulences in the fluid and the load loss is minimal. For diameters greater than ND1200 the body is machine‐welded with the necessary reinforcements to resist the maximum working pressure. The standard manufacturing materials are GJL‐250 cast iron and CF8M stainless steel. Other materials, such as GJS‐500 nodular cast iron, A216WCB carbon steel and stainless steel alloys (AISI316Ti, Duplex, 254SMO, Uranus B6…) are available on request. As standard, iron or carbon steel valves are painted with an anti‐corrosive protection of 80 microns of EPOXY (colour RAL 5015). Other types of anti‐corrosive protections are available on request. 2‐ GATE The standard manufacturing materials are AISI304 stainless steel in valves with iron body and AISI316 stainless steel in valves with CF8M body. Other materials or combinations can be supplied on request. The gate is polished on both sides to provide a smooth contact surface with the resilient seat. At the same time, the gate is rounded to prevent the seat from being cut. Different degrees of polishing, anti‐abrasion treatments and modifications are available to adapt the valves to the customer’s requirements.
3‐ SEAT The following six types of seats are available according to the working application: Seat 1: Metal / metal seat. This type of seat does not include any kind of resilient seat and the estimated leakage (considering water as the test fluid) is 1.5% of the pipe flow. Seat 2: Standard soft‐seated valve. This type of seat includes a resilient seat which is fixed to the inside of the body via an AISI316 stainless steel retaining ring. As this valve is bidirectional it includes two watertight seals. Seat 3: Soft‐seated valve with reinforced socket. This type of seat includes a resilient seat which is fixed to the inside of the body via an AISI316 stainless steel retaining ring with two functions (to protect the valve from abrasion and clean the gate when working with solids that stick to it). As this valve is bidirectional it includes two watertight seals and two reinforced rings. Seats 4, 5 and 6: The same as seats 1, 2 and 3 but including a deflector. The deflector is a cone‐shaped ring located at the valve’s entrance with two functions (to protect the valve from abrasion and guide the flow to the centre of the valve’s hole). Three materials are available for the reinforced socket and the deflector (CA‐15 steel, CF8M and Ni‐hard). Fig. 3
Resilient seat materials EPDM This is the standard resilient seat fitted on CMO valves. It can be used in many applications, however, it is generally used for water and products diluted in water at temperatures no higher than 90°C*. It can also be used with abrasive products and it provides the valve with 100% watertight integrity. NITRILE It is used in fluids containing fats or oils at temperatures no higher than 90°C*. It provides the valve with 100% watertight integrity. VITON Suitable for corrosive applications and continuous high temperatures of up to 190°C and peaks of 210°C. It provides the valve with 100% watertight integrity. SILICONE Mainly used in the food industry and for pharmaceutical products with temperatures no higher than 200°C. It provides the valve with 100% watertight integrity. PTFE Suitable for corrosive applications and pH between 2 and 12. Does not provide the valve with 100% watertight integrity. Estimated leakage: 0.5% of the tube flow.
Note: In some applications other types of resilient materials are used, such as hypalon, butile or natural rubber. Please contact us if you require one of these materials.
4‐ PACKING CMO’s standard packing is composed of three lines with a specially designed EPDM O‐ring in the middle which provides watertight integrity between the body and the gate, preventing any type of leakage to the atmosphere. It is located in an easily accessible place and can be replaced without dismantling the valve from the pipeline. Below we indicate various types of packing available according to the application in which the valve is located: GREASED COTTON (Recommended for hydraulic services): This packing is composed of braided cotton fibres soaked in grease both inside and out. It is for general use in hydraulic in both pumps and valves. DRY COTTON: This packing is composed of cotton fibres. It is for general use in hydraulic applications with solids. COTTON + PTFE: This packing is composed of braided cotton fibres soaked in PTFE both inside and out. It is for general use in hydraulic applications in both pumps and valves. SYNTHETIC + PTFE: This packing is composed of braided synthetic fibres soaked in PTFE both inside and out. It is for general use in hydraulic applications in both pumps and valves and in all types of fluids, especially corrosive ones, including concentrated and oxidising oils. It is also used in liquids with solid particles in suspension. GRAPHITE: This packing is composed of high‐purity graphite fibres. A diagonal braiding system is used and it´s impregnated with graphite and lubricant which helps to reduce porosity and improve operation. It has a wide range of applications as graphite is resistant to steam, water, oils, solvents, alkali and most acids. CERAMIC FIBRE: This packing is composed of ceramic material fibres. Its main applications are with air or gas at high temperatures and low pressures.
* EPDM and nitrile: is possible until serving temperature Max.: 120°C under request. 5‐ STEM The stem on the CMO valve is made of 18/8 stainless steel. This characteristic provides high resistance and excellent corrosion‐resistant properties. The valve design can be rising stem or non‐rising stem. When rising stem is required a stem hood is supplied to protect the stem from contact with dust and dirt, as well as keeping it lubricated. 6‐ PACKING GLAND The packing gland allows uniform force and pressure to be applied to the packing to ensure watertight integrity. As standard, valves with cast iron body include GJS‐450 packing glands, whilst valves with stainless steel body have CF8M packing glands.
7‐ ACTUATORS All types of actuators can be supplied, with the advantage that the CMO design is fully interchangeable. This design allows the customer to change the actuators themselves and normally no extra assembly accessories are required. In the event any accessory is required, CMO will supply it. Manual: Automatic: Handwheel with rising stem Electric actuator Handwheel with non‐rising stem Pneumatic cylinder Chainwheel Hydraulic cylinder Lever Gear Box Others (square nut,...) The chainwheel and gear box actuators are also available with non‐rising stem. The pneumatic actuators can be single or double acting, and the single acting ones can in turn be open spring or close spring.

Different accessories are available to adapt the valve to specific working conditions such as: Mirror Polished Gate The mirror polished gate is especially recommended in the food industry and, as standard, in applications in which solids can stick to the gate. It is an alternative to ensure the solids slide off and do not stick to the gate. PTFE Lined Gate As with the mirror polished gate, it improves the valve’s resistance to products that can stick to the gate. Stellited Gate Stellite is added to the gate’s internal circle to protect it from abrasion. Scraper in the Packing It cleans the gate during the opening movement and prevents possible damage to the packing. Air Injection in the Packing Gland By injecting air in the packing, an air chamber is created which improves the watertight integrity. Heating Jacket Recommended in applications in which the fluid can harden and solidify inside the valve’s body. An external jacket keeps the body temperature constant, preventing the fluid from solidifying.
Flushing Holes in Body (Fig. 8) Several holes are be drilled in the body to flush air, steam or other fluids out in order to clean the valve seat before sealing. Mechanical Limit Switches, Inductive Switches and Positioners Limit switches or inductive switches are installed to indicate precise valve position, as well as positioners to indicate continuous position. Solenoid valves For air distribution to pneumatic actuators. Connection Boxes, Wiring and Pneumatic Piping Fully assembled units can be supplied with all the necessary accessories. Stroke Limiting Mechanical Stops Mechanical Locking Device Allows the valve to be mechanically locked in a set position for long periods of time. Emergency Manual Actuator (Hand Wheel /Gear Box) Allows manual operation of the valve in the event of power or air failure. Triangular (V‐Notch) and Pentagonal Diaphragm with Indication Rule (Fig. 7) Recommended for application in which it is necessary to regulate the flow, it allows flow control according to the valve's opening percentage. Interchangeable Actuators All actuators are easily interchangeable. Actuator or Yoke Support Made of EPOXY‐coated steel (or stainless steel on request), its robust design gives it great rigidity in order to resist the most adverse operation conditions. Epoxy Coating All cast iron and carbon steel bodies and components on CMO valves are EPOXY coated, giving the valves great resistance to corrosion and an excellent finish. CMO’s standard colour is blue, RAL‐5015. Gate Safety Protection In accordance with European Safety Standards (“EC” marking), CMO automated valves are equipped with gate guards, to prevent any objects from being accidentally caught in the gate. Bonnet (Fig. 8) The bonnet provides total watertight integrity to the outside, reducing the packing maintenance required.
